Training dex

[Superduke]

Hi all, i'm having the hardest time getting my dex up. I'm using the stat list from the wiki and using skills that have dex as primary stat. Even when using such a skill overnight dex is only raised by like 10 points. I'm at 60 dex now and i have trained up many 'dex skills' up to their cap.

Would some vets care to share some tricks?

Thanks

I'm no vet but I would train fencing at the trainer to raise Dex. Remember to take your armour off first though because it'll wear out. This works even if you're at 75 fencing which is the skill cap for training skills at the trainer. No matter what you do though you will only gain a max of once per 15 mins and if training fencing not 100% of these will be dex.

Also, you still gain dex if you are using a skill that is capped (as long as the skill isn't locked)

keep in mind that stat gains are limited by time here... if i'm not mistaken, you can gain 1 stat point per 15 minutes

Awesome, i have read about the 1 stat point per 15 mins rule but i didn't know we're able to gain stats when already at skill cap so that is actually very good news!

Thanks alot for your replies!

Just bear in mind that I do believe that it will start checking to see if you will raise 15 minutes after your last raise, it will not automatically raise 15 minutes later even if you are macroing a skill. I have gone as long as 20 to 25 minutes before my next raise.

Also, this is a good time for me bring up my semi-annual hint on stat raising. Camping is one of the few skills that will raise all 3 stats. Just cut yourself about 20 pieces of kindling and try to make campfires. Make sure you start at 0.0 skill and lock the 2 skills that you aren't targeting to gain and you should see a raise in whatever skill very soon thereafter. This is a good way to raise stats while bank sitting, exploring or just chatting with friends. If it has been at least 15 minutes since your last gain, stop and do a few double clicks on your kindling.
